Regular expression in django url

Question

In Django 1.7, how can I create only one url regex which matches all 3 following templates:

1. /page/
2. /page/{two characters}/
3. /page.html

Many thanks.

Answer 1

try this

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   url(r'^page/$', yourviews.page),
   url(r'^page/(\w{2})/$', yourviews.page_detail),
   url(r'^page.html$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="page.html")),
)

UPDATE: I added TemplateView for your page.html, so you dont need to write views for it. this is one of the beauties of Django.

Answer 2

How about

url(r'^/page(\/\w{2}\/|\/|\.html)$', yourview)

Answer 3

urls.py

url(r'^page/$', views.page),
url(r'^page/(\w{2})/$', views.page),
url(r'^page\\.html$', views.page),

views.py

def page(request, two_chars=''):
    # ...
